First Steps to Leadership Training

A two hour training session at your school, for 10 aspiring leaders in year 2.  First Step leaders will learn in a practical environment, where they will be taught what makes a good leader and how to make sure everyone is taking part in the activities whilst having fun. They will:

  • Explore the skills and qualities of a good sports leader
  • Learn why teamwork is important and how to ensure everyone is engaged and having fun
  • Explore the importance of warming up the body and the mind ready for physical activity
  • Understand ways to improve activities by using the Mr NEDD principle (name, explain, demonstrate, deliver)
  • Lead a PhysiFUN game for the rest of the group
  • Find out the 3 challenges set, all to be completed at school using their newly learnt leadership skills
